not done yet, but basically two 36" wide soft-close deep drawers below the rangetop. Makes for easy finding of seldom used pots.

chris- what will be to the left/right of the deep drawers (we are doing the drawers too)...

Here you go... My rangetop is 48". The island's a little in the way, though:

Still making modifications to the design but this is looking like the winner. Presently the traditional stove is by the entrance on the "L" and has no exhaust fan. So shifting the cooktop to the end creates better traffic flow and we can add an OTR micro that can be vented outside through the existing soffet. Also gives much better adjacent storage for pots and pans. 24" oven will go beside the fridge on the wall with the entrance (facing the basement door).

One of the deep drawers will be used for the most commonly used pots and pans (the rest can go in the lazy susan in the corner cab) and the other will be for dishes. Day to day dishes will go on the open shelves by the dishwasher and the drawer base with the cutlery (will probably change that drawer base to 3 shallow drawers with one deep).

Here's my rangetop area. The rangetop's 36" and we store pots in the large drawers under it. The narrow drawer bank next to it stores utensils. The coulumns are pullout spice racks that are very convenient and also make it look ok to have the 4-drawer stack next to the pot drawers.

Here is ours...over 2 yrs old now. Just rearranged the area and the sauce pots are now on the lazy susan in the lower right of picture and the most used skillets and wok are in the open pull out areas under the cooktop. Takes me a while to decide how I want things...:)

hood area :

A couple of months old,

I plan on a 30" induction top in a 3 drawer stack. The top stack with just hold some large flat utensils (there will be a heat shield), the bottom two will hold pots and pans. Gosh! I LOVE those spice pullouts. Maybe I can work one in or use the top drawer for spices...

The cooktop is 36", with a 36" cabinet below. The top drawer is for utensils and trivets, and the bottom two drawers are for pots and pans. The thin cabinet to the right is a spice pullout. I don't know why it's sideways - I keep rotating it in photobucket but it's not saving. Sorry...

suzienj.....to the left is a four drawer 15" cab, and to the right a drawer / door waste cabinet. Either of the top drawers would be good places for spices.

Do you love your new wolf rangetop? Is it open or sealed? We are getting the 36 sealed !! CANT WAIT!

Salmon, I LOVE your pendants! Would you mind sharing where you got them?

I have no pictures yet, about 75% done but I have a 36' wolf rangetop and I chose to put the warming drawer under it. I have only been using my kitchen for a few weeks,it seems to be a great choice and I love the location of it.

Here's my rangetop - 36" Viking with a 42" VentaHood. Sorry about the weird angle, but I couldn't get a front shot because the island is in the way.

You can see the vent and range wall better in {{!gwi}}

mom2... your kitchen is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks, remodelfla!

I still have to finish decorating (artwork, some chairs), but it's getting there! I worked with a KD on this kitchen, and she was a tremendous help.

mom2 - absolutly stunning!!! What type of hood is that (what brand?)

jlinajo what wolf do you have - open or closed burners? Are you glad you spent the $$ on the wolf? So far ?? thanks

Thanks, suzie! It's a Vent-A-Hood - EPH18-242-SS

I like its simple, clean lines, and it works great, too :)

kellilou

we bought the pendants at EXPO. The receipt says "ELBA mini pendant 16" x 9" SKU was 303-546

Thanks, Steve!

Suzie, We love, love our wolf rangetop. We were just talking about it and saying it was worth the extra money. we have 36' closed 4 burner with the griddle. We picked the closed because we liked the grates better and it is very easy to clean. There is a wow factor to having the wolf, everyone who comes in the kitchen and looks at the wolf says WOW. Good luck.

mom2reese,
I tried looking you up in the Finished Kitchens, but no luck. Can you tell about your cabinets, hardware, and backsplash?
Thanks.

Hi oldalgebra! I haven't put my kitchen on FKB - should I? I'm a newbie so wasn't sure if I was "worthy", LOL.

Some details:

- Cabinets: Merit cabinets in Whistler style, cherry wood with Truffle stain
- Hardware: Ebay (gasp!) These are very heavy, great quality and a fraction of the cost of similar pulls I've seen in stores
- Tile: Lunada Bay recycled glass tiles (Sumi-e style in Ohara Natural, 1x2 brick)

Don't laugh, but I have more pictures/details on a Rate My Space page. I have a pretty low rating, but that's okay, I still like my kitchen :)

Mom2Reese, THAT got a low rating? Who are these people? ;-) It looks WONderful to me. Unique, elegant, and just cool. Please post it on the forum and get it into the FKB. Newbies are welcome, too. It's helpful to others in the planning and dreaming stages. The rest of us just love kitchens in general and love to look at (and drool over) other's masterpieces. (Also sometimes referred to here as our 'kitchen porn' addiction) :-)

Mom2Reese, could you tell me what granite you used. It looks beautiful and works with your backsplash so well too. Love your kitchen!!

Thanks so much,

Sassync

Here is my rangetop area. I have a 48" Thermador pro cooktop with 6 burners (simmer to wok cooking) and a titanium griddle with maple block cover/chopping area. I love it! Next to my Miele master chef ovens, it is my Favorite kitchen appliance! Here are some pics! click on photo to see album

Thanks rhome!

sassync - the granite is Kodiak, and I used Silestone in Tigris Sand for the lower part of the island. I had also considered Amarillo Gold, which is from the same quarry as Kodiak but the upper layers. It turned out to be too dark for my kitchen.

Sorry to hijack your thread, suzienj!

no worries Mom2reese!!
